The schooner “Constellation” – Class A winner in the 1955 Trans-Pacific Yacht Race
It’s a sailor’s radio!
If it’s good for a sailor, it’s good for everyone…

Zenith TRAMS-OCEANIC Short Wave Radio keeps ''Constellation"
in touch with world during historic
ZENITH Short Wave radio wrote yachting history last July when it
sped across the Pacific from Los Angeles to Honolulu aboard the
fastest Class A schooner in the 1955 Trans-Pacific Yacht Race!
Frank Hooykaas, owner-skipper of the 75-foot "Constellation,"
used his Zenith TRANS-OCEANIC portable radio constantly to
tune in network broadcasts from the U. S. and Hawaii, and to
take precise radio bearings when approaching the island of Oahu.
You, too, can tune in the world with the Zenith TRANSOCEANIC
portable radio, or get the best long distance domestic
reception on standard broadcast ! It also covers international Short
Wave bands; marine, weather and amateur Short Wave coverage
bands; plus ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore reception. Students can
tune in foreign lands and learn languages as they are actually spoken!
This 15-year-proved Short and Standard Wave radio operates
on ships, trains, planes and in steel buildings. Tropically treated
against high humidity to prevent loss of sensitivity. AC/DC or
battery operated. In black stag, S139.95*;browncowhidc,$159.95*.
IMPORTANT! A Zenith battery-operated portable is as necessary in your home
as a flashlight in case of power failure caused by air raid or other emergency!
